Why usage of chlorofluorocarbons being discouraged? or Explain ozone layer depletion?

Answer»

The decomposition of CFC’s destroying ozone. 

CF2Cl2(g) + hv → Cl(h) + CF2Cl(g) 

The reactive Cl atom reacts with O3 to form ClO radical.

Cl(g) + O3 → ClO(g) + O2(g) 

Thus each Cl atom produced, can destroy many O3 molecules. This leads to ozone depletion.
